Description: | Superwarfarins are long-acting anticoagulants (half life 24 days or more) with a potency much greater than that of warfarin. They are widely available in rodenticides and may be ingested intentionally or accidentally. Because of the long half-life and potency of the compounds, bleeding may be severe and therapy may need to be given for a prolonged period. |
